Blink and Bounce

There seems to be a problem with the missle (bounce type). No matter what number i put into the targetcount feild, if it is any greater than 1 it bounces a million times, i just never stops. This means i can either have no bounces, or a million. And i don't want that. Even when i copy the huntresses stats exactly (as we know for a fact her bounce works by deafult). Custom units still have a problem with it bouncing a million times. I had already posted this question on the map creation forum. But it was mostly ingnored and after a few response that were not helpful in anyway it dropped to where ic ould not find it anymore. So perhaps it is a problem with the editor??? I really need help on this as getting the missle bounce type is vital to a map project i am working on.

i being ignored again..

ive been looking that, it seems that the value in the unitmetdata is wrong. Instead real it must be integer =) just open your unitmetadata.slk and change that field from real to integer.

However, this doesnt fix that damageloss (I have to test more about that)

Thanks. Apparently, I even tried the new, faster unit editor (forgot it's name), and imported a custom hero based on the gryphon, but that hero lacked the missile(line) damage as well. As of now, I'm stuck with a huntress hero that has unreduced damage, and a non-infinite bounce, (thanks to changing targcount1 to int instead of real using excel in unitmetadata.slk). This is so annoying! Even when I essentially made a straight copy of a gryphon and gave it hero stats, it still lacked the linear damage. Does this have anything to do with the attack needing to specifically be piercing/unit has to be flying/unit has to EXACTLY BE a gryphon or a ballistae?

Apparently, making the gryphon itself into a hero also using the special, faster unit editor doesn't help either (as it doesn't quite turn the gryphon into a hero). Is the storm hammers/ballistae line damage ability necessary in order to give a unit linear damage? I hope this wasn't something blizzard hardcoded... Even experimeneting with the storm hammers ability on/off, it seems to do nothing for the hero. My spillradius1 is set to 50, and my test hero is direct copy of the gryphon rider, with hero stats added using the special unit editor. He is ground targetted, and does normal damage and has hero armor. No hero abilities, but he levels as normal, just that he LACKS the linear damage part =(

On a related note, I hope progress in finding a way to reduce the huntress damage on a custom huntress hero is speedy.

Please post your findings on the missle(bounce) and missle(line) damage!!!

well, there IS a way of doing all this WITHOUT getting desync errors, and that is editing the slk called unitui, unitdata, unitbalance etc

Details....? I hope someone could post a tutorial on making heros have missile(bounce) and line damage soon by doing those edits....

i can't even get the hero to bounce just 1 time :(

i can't even get the huntres to bounce more than once :(
